One of the giants of contemporary thought, Charles Handy has spent a lifetime exploring the big issues that face today's society. Now, as he reaches his mid-eighties, he turns to ask the questions that will face the next generation. How will people cope with change in a world where the old certainties no longer apply? What goals should they set themselves? Which career paths will be open to them? How can they find purpose and fulfilment in their lives? What belief systems will help sustain them? Couched in the form of letters to his grandchildren, his insights are clear-eyed, practical and optimistic by turns. And as they shrewdly probe the challenges that lie ahead, they point the next wave of workers, entrepreneurs, citizens, philosophers, dreamers and lover in the direction of the answers.
